Lil Wayne has spoken out for the first time since his release from jail — after serving eight months of his one year sentence — on Thursday. His family and friends gathered Sunday night in Miami to celebrate Weezy’s freedom, and the rapper is more than ready to move on, putting his stint behind bars behind him.

“I forgot about yesterday,” Lil Wayne told MTV News of his new-found freedom last night on the red carpet of his “Welcome Home, Tunechi” party.
